I'm a freelance travel and communications consultant who loves to learn about other cultures through travel, meeting and talking to people, museums, festivals, events, etc. As a digital nomad since last year, I spend 3 months in a location while working remotely to get to know a place and culture better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet people from the destinations I'm visiting to learn more about their life and to understand the culture better and to share info on the U.S.

I'm a relative newbie to couchsurfing, and am looking forward to meeting locals and learning more about places first-hand. I was a backpacker/hosteler in my 20s and miss the interactions with people when traveling that you don't get if not staying in hostels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some interesting things about me: I've traveled to over 80 countries on 6 continents, including three long-term (multiple month) travel trips; been a vegetarian for over 35 years; rode camels in Egypt at the pyramids in Giza and in Rajasthan, India; rode horses in Scotland, Iceland, and Petra; rode donkeys in Egypt in the Valley of the Kings and in Indonesia; and rode an elephant in Thailand (although I wouldn't do that now that I know how the elephants are treated); tried scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia; was a tribal bellydancer for 4 years and a metaphysical life coach for 2 years.
